Knew they would lose. Such a mess. They got lucky with the 2nd goal. Di maria was wonder hit. France just had too much pace for them in Mbappe, Pogba bossed the midfield. Argentina was too slow, Messi was playing as a false number 9 but kept drifting into deeper positions, only had one touch in the box in the firsr half, they didn’t have presence in the box until Aguero came on. Sergio Aguero PL top class proven striker, cannot get into this messed up system of Argentina. Messi seems to be calling the shots rather than the weak coach there. France have many qualities all round.

But I still think, Uruguay will beat both Portugal and France. Stubborn, resilient sides they are with good hungry attitude.

Arg midfield was too open, too slow. Made the job easy for france to run past. Sort of gave too much space to France. Argentina ome dimensional, in the first half had one shot on target and that was the wonder strike from Di Maria.

There was a time, Argentina played wonderful football, kept ball well and passed around neatly. Look at 98-2006 sides. This team is slow, don’t move ball well and heavily rely on Messi. The whole system isn’t functioning for them.
